So, my morning routine depends on if I'm swimming. I am not at all naturally a morning person, but a combo of work hours and traffic mean I get up early - either 5:30am on days I swim (usually Monday and Friday) or 6:30 on the others.
I roll over, get up, do morning bathroom things, take my morning thyroid med, get sat on by the cat (key part of the morning, in her opinion) while doing morning practice things (one song from a playlist, Tarot card of the day), peer at online stuff, mark things for later replies if needed, and at about 10 minutes to, get dressed, put lunch things in my bag, fill my water bottle with ice things and water and lime juice, and go off.
If I leave promptly at 7, the drive is about 25 minutes (if there's absolutely no traffic, it's about 18, and it gets noticably more annoying if I leave after about 7:05). I get to work, have breakfast (I leave at least a 45 minute gap between the thyroid meds and food), and sort out whatever questions have come in at work overnight.
A theoretical me would love, y'know, a bit of meditation in there, but I can't do it without stretching the morning in weird ways that make me late whenever I try. And there's a bunch of other stuff where it'd be a nice idea but doesn't work for me (I'm noticeably more clumsy in the morning, so I try not to do anything I can drop or break or similar.)
